【Short Synopsis】

A story about a studious bookworm who reincarnates as a brawny simpleton and aims to become a rebellious magic-user.

【Synopsis】

I successfully reincarnated into the world of swords and magic I'd always yearned for, but it turned out to be a surprisingly problematic world where even the concept of 'academic pedigree' existed.

...Oh well, I guess it's fine. At least I've come to a world with magic.

Those aiming for the elite course can go right ahead with their endeavors. As for me, I'll aim to be a free-spirited, adventurous mage—

Wait, I have no talent for magic?

But I do have talent for Physical Enhancement Magic (muscle-brain)?

No, no, no! I'm a scholar at heart!

Anyway, resolving to live freely, unbound by academic pedigree or career advancement, I decided to temporarily seek a path to becoming a mage at a prestigious academy in the royal capital. However, my apparently considerable talent for Physical Enhancement Magic proved to be my undoing, as one misunderstanding led to another, and before I knew it, I was in a truly dire situation...

But I won't waver!

In this life, I will only do what I want to do!

This story is also available on Kakuyomu.
